Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"We have a lot of work to do, but I'm very excited about this team. Four of the guys in the starting lineup had a combined five tournament starts last year. More experience and more effort in a few areas of our games will have a huge positive impact on this group. I can't wait to see what's around the corner."

Next Up
The Eagles will compete in the JT Poston Invitational Sept. 27-28 at the Country Club of Sapphire in Sapphire Valley, N.C.
